THINKING ABOUT MY RETIREMENT ABROAD

At 53 years of age , I had to stop and think about what retirement would look like. I was looking very bleak! why i had to made the dissection to move abroad at my age . Bringing my 17 year old son with me . I couldn't sit back and wait for Canada to cut my income in half and be forced to choose between having more roommates in my small 2 bedroom Apt. or to move into a tent and live out retirement this way living in a tent. Canada wasn't offering me anything anymore. I was making all choices look so dark and stressful. As much as i loved my country , it wasn't the same Canada i grow up in. Watching everyone around me struggle and complaining about the same old thing , day after day. it was time for a change. Seeing even my own mom struggle at her age , trying to pay bills and enjoy retirement and growing old. the sadness in her eyes when she couldn't even afford to buy Christmas gifts anymore for family or her own great grandchildren. This was not the life i wanted anymore. i needed more that what Canada was going to give me. I wanted to retire in a few years happy , stress free and really enjoying the years to come. So off to Tirana Albania we went !
